Fashion on the Ration comes North

Bother! I've got lots to write about this week, but I've also got a bad migraine, so my usual post will have to be delayed a day or two.

Instead I'll just tell you that Fashion on the Ration, the Imperial War Museum's wonderful exhibition on 1940s street style, has just opened at IWM North in Manchester. Even better, it's on for a full 11 months (until 1 May 2017), so there's plenty of time to arrange a visit.

Mum and I had a day trip to London to see it last year, but we enjoyed it so much that now it's on our doorstep we will definitely be going again.
